The Boston Beer Company Annual Report 2016 Dear Shareholders THE BOSTON BEER COMPANY ANNUAL REPORT 2016 DEAR SHAREHOLDERS IN 2016, THE NUMBER OF INDEPENDENT BREWERS PASSED THE 5,000 THRESHOLD FOR THE FIRST TIME IN HISTORY. AS WE HAVE SAID OFTEN, THIS IS THE GREATEST TIME EVER TO BE A BEER LOVER. IT’S ALSO THE MOST COMPETITIVE TIME TO BE A BREWER AS THE SIZE AND STRUCTURE OF THE BEER INDUSTRY CONTINUE TO CHANGE. The top ten craft brewers, including Samuel Adams, account for more than a third of total craft beer sold and the next 120 account for another 35% of the U.S. craft beer market. Approximately 20% of craft beer brewed in the U.S. is made by much smaller breweries and tap rooms with hyper-local distribution. While few if any of these brands will achieve broad distribution, they are brewing good beer, and they are relevant in their own cities and towns. At the other end of the size spectrum, we see the world’s biggest foreign-owned brewers continuing to buy small, American craft brewers, removing their independent craft ownership, and adding them to their enormous global portfolios of brands. These changes in the competitive landscape have impacted our growth rates in 2016. The good news is we have weathered challenging times before, and we have been successful in learning how to navigate choppy seas. First, we stay true to our mission: to create long term profitable growth by offering the highest quality products to the U.S. beer drinker. We have tripled our size since 2004, and we believe we can return to growth because we have the people, products, and passion to do it. Not all growth is about increased sales. In 2016 we challenged ourselves to work more effectively and efficiently. We have been growing internally with improved systems, building a new senior management team, and a continuing commitment to innovation. One of the cornerstones of Boston Beer since its inception has been: change is good! And in 2016, despite our challenges, lots of good changes happened. LEADERSHIP TEAM UPDATES Over the past fourteen months, we expanded and solidified a new senior leadership team. At the start of 2016 we welcomed our new Chief Financial Officer Frank Smalla, and Senior Vice President for Supply Chain Quincy Troupe. Later in the year, we expanded the leadership team to include our Chief Marketing Officer Jon Potter, and promoted Cheryl Fisher to Vice President Human Resources and Tara Heath to Vice President Legal and Deputy General Counsel. This invigorated team is working closely together, and has set ambitious goals while laying the foundation for long term growth for the company. We have already found ways to save money, opportunities to increase innovation, and strategies to achieve greater synergy internally. While the 2016 Annual Report focuses on 2016 events, we want to include an important announcement made in February 2017. After 22 years as part of the Boston Beer family, and 17 years as President and CEO, Martin Roper has informed the Board of Directors of his plans to retire in 2018. Boston Beer has grown eight fold during Martin’s tenure, and he deserves enormous credit for that growth. He has given us ample time to find a replacement, and in the meantime, we know he will continue to lead the Company until a successor is in place. SAMUEL ADAMS STANDS FOR INDEPENDENCE, THE OPTIMISM OF THE AMERICAN DREAM, AND A BETTER BEER FOR ALL U.S. BEER DRINKERS. A SNAPSHOT OUR FAMILY OF 2016 OF BEVERAGES A very visible endeavor in 2016 was a complete redesign of our Another constant at Boston Beer is our boundless curiosity.

MAKING MEAD BY BRAD SMITH ead, which is a fermented beverage made from honey, is one of the oldest alcoholic M beverages. Vessels found in China dating back to 7000 B.C. have organic compounds consistent with fermented honey and rice. Mead was the revered “nectar of the gods” in ancient Greece and the “drink of kings” throughout history, though it has faded to obscurity in modern times. For homebrewers, mead is a great addition to complement your other fermented offerings. Many of your guests may have never tasted a good quality mead or melomel (fruit mead), but almost everyone enjoys this sweet beverage. Using some modern methods, mead is also relatively easy and quick to make, and you can use equipment you already have on hand for homebrewing. MODERN MEADMAKING TECHNIQUES When I started homebrewing back in 1987, the fermentation of mead was a very slow process, taking 12 to 18 Photo by Charles A. Parker/Images Plus Parker/Images A.

  • BOSTON BEER CO. and DOGFISH HEAD to Merge, Creating the Most Dynamic American-Owned Platform for Craft Beer and Beyond
    BOSTON BEER CO. and DOGFISH HEAD to Merge, Creating the Most Dynamic American-Owned Platform for Craft Beer and Beyond Cash and Stock Transaction, Valued at Approximately $300 Million, Combines Two Award-Winning Craft Beer Pioneers with Unrivaled Brewing Expertise and Portfolios of Leading Beer and “Beyond Beer” Brands BOSTON, MA, May 9, 2019 – The Boston Beer Company, Inc (NYSE: SAM) and Dogfish Head Brewery today announced that the companies have signed a definitive merger agreement, bringing together two pioneering independent Craft breweries and two illustrious founders and brewers, Jim Koch and Sam Calagione. Together, Boston Beer and Dogfish Head will create a powerful American-owned platform for craft beer and beyond. The new entity will possess more than half a century of Craft brewing expertise, a balanced portfolio of leading beer and “beyond beer” brands at high end price points, and industry leadership in innovation and quality. Following the transaction, the combined company will have a leading position in the high end of the U.S. beer market, bringing together Boston Beer’s craft beer portfolio and top-ranked sales teami with Dogfish Head’s award-winning portfolio of IPA and session sour brands. The combined company will maintain its status as an independent Craft brewery, as defined by the Brewers Association. It will be better positioned to compete against the global beer conglomerates within the craft beer category that are 50- and 100-times its size, while still representing less than 2% of beer sold in the United States. Most importantly, this combination brings together two of the leading founder-brewers in the United States, Jim Koch of Boston Beer and Sam Calagione of Dogfish Head, both of whom will continue to lead brewing innovation for the newly-combined company.
